4.6.6 Procedure for editing the network control settings file
You must edit the network control settings file (jdn_networkcontrol.conf) if, for example, you want to manage network connections by using the whitelist method when linkage with JP1/NETM/NM - Manager is being used. In this case, you can edit the file so that detected devices will be added to the network control list as devices that are not permitted to connect to the network.
The settings in the network control settings file are applied to all network segments managed by JP1/IT Desktop Management 2. Note that these settings are not applied to the network segments that are monitored by network monitors. Also note that these settings are not applied to the network connections of any devices that have already been registered in the network control list.
In a cluster configuration, edit the network control settings files on both the primary and secondary management servers.
To edit the network control settings file:
-
On the management server, execute the stopservice command.
The services of the management server stop.
-
Open the network control settings file, and change the value of NetworkControl_Default to 1.
The location of the network control settings file is as follows:
\mgr\conf in the JP1/IT Desktop Management 2 installation folder
The following table describes the settings that can be specified in the network control settings file.
